Dead Man’s Cell Phone

By Sarah Ruhl

Directed by Sarah Ingram

An incessantly ringing cell phone disturbs a woman sitting at a café table. She is furious at the owner for not picking up the call, until she discovers he’s dead. So begins Dead Man’s Cell Phone, a wildly imaginative new dramatic comedy. This work about how we memorialize the dead, and how that remembering changes us, is the odyssey of a woman confronting her own assumptions about morality, redemption, and the need to connect in a technologically obsessed world. This is a show for those who have felt the need for personal attachment in the detached world of cellular communication.
